Stern Warning - 2006 WPPD entry
Unprinted photo titled Stern Warning depicting the wreck of the George Rennie at the Northern end of Picnic Bay, Magnetic Island looking out across Cleveland Bay. Photographed on a Shen-hao HZX 4X5-IIA Field Camera, .5mm pinhole lens @ f/296, 10min on Polaroid 55p/n film.
Originally, this steel hulled paddle steamer is reported to have been built in Middlesex, England as a 151 gross ton vessel in 1885. Later in 1896 the ship was bought by the shipping company Howard Smith & Sons and then transformed into a lighter and used between West Point (Magnetic Island) and Townsville. It was finally beached in 1902 at at the Northern end of Picnic Bay to be used as a breakwater for a small jetty.
That’s beautiful intriguing EXCELLENT WORK!
